Haven't done this in awhile so have to ask for clarification. I need to export a couple 11.0.7 packages that I just created in my 11.0.5 SEPM where I'm looking at the descriptions for 2 of the Policy Settings, below, from the Help page. For the first option's "description" that says "After you deploy...", will the new SEP 11.0.7 client appear in the selected group only if the second option, "Add clients automatically...", is enabled? So what happens if you uncheck this second box to automatically add clients to the selected group?
- Export packages with policies from the following groups
Lets you export a managed package with security policies from a specific group or groups. If you select multiple groups, a separate subdirectory of installation files is created for each group. After you deploy the exported client software, the client computers automatically appear in the group that you selected for installation.
- Add clients automatically to the selected group
Automatically installs the managed package to new clients that are added to the selected group.
What throws me off is the "description" for the 2nd option which appears as though it'll set some policy on the selected group after the export so should I move existing 11.0.5 clients to this group at a later date in my SEPM that it'll apply the new 11.0.7 package to them as well. Not true, right?...until I explicitly "assign" the 11.0.7 packages to a group(s). Is this just semantics where the verbage in the description for the 2nd option isn't quite right? Ultimately, I only want to upgrade a few clients to 11.0.7 to address a known issue where we'll be doing manual installs using the setup.exe packages I export. Want everyone else to remain at 11.0.5 until I get the nerve to upgrade my SEPM to 12.1.4.
